[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cone on, a rising school can build a first-rate strong program quite quickly via a school-within-a-school program. I say this not just as a charter parent but as a grad of one of the first cohorts of the Communications Arts magnet program at Montgomery Blair HS in Silver Spring. Tacoma Park MS and Blair HS were our family's in bounds schools, but my parents would have avoided both if hadn't been able to take all honors classes from 6th-12th grades. My kids are still in a DCI feeder, but I'm already tired of hearing excuses for DCI not offering honors classes outside math and target language instruction. My oldest kid (fully bilingual/biliterate in a target language) would obviously be bored with the current curriculum!! Hoping for a BASIS slot.[/quote] No charter school has a school-within-a-school program. FYI -- BASIS tracks even less than DCI (math only). But they do retain students (6th - 8th) who don't pass one or more of the end of year exams (there is one retake opportunity).[/quote]
